Stupid Voters Fire Gruber

State Auditor Beth Wood, a Democrat, decided to terminate Gruberís $200,000 contract late last week, according to a timeline of work done for North Carolina by the health economics professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

ďGruberís comment that it was all right to mislead people to get a desired outcome that he favored led our auditors to determine he had at least the appearance of an independence impairment,Ē Bill Holmes, a spokesman for the auditorís office, told WRAL-TV.

...Gruberís comments also led to the termination of his $400,000 contract with the state of Vermont. He was paid $160,000 before Gov. Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, decided to end the contract.
